The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Riyadh will host the Diplomatic Conference to Conclude and Adopt a Design Law Treaty 2024 from Monday, November 11 to Friday, November 22, 2024. This day falls between the ninth and the twentieth day of Jumada al-Awwal in 1446 AH.

The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) announced that the member nations had decided to host the diplomatic conference in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This occurred during a meeting of the Preparatory Committee for the Conclusion and Adoption of the Design Law Treaty. The Diplomatic Conference also attempts to bring together member nations of the World Intellectual Property Organisation to approve the Design Law Treaty, which is generally named after the city that hosts the conference. Moreover, the Design Law Treaty seeks to provide an international framework for harmonising registration requirements for industrial designs and coordinating their operations across borders. The Treaty assists applicants in protecting their designs under the Treaty by providing information on the application's components, design representation, and filing and publishing dates. A high-level team from the Organisation visited the Kingdom early this year to examine the Kingdom's application to host the conference. It is important to note that the member nations of the Organisation have been vying to host this conference since 2015. The Design Law Treaty intends to streamline the international industrial design protection framework, facilitating the protection of designers' creations in domestic and international markets in a quicker, easier, and more economical manner. The last phase of the discussions is the Diplomatic Conference. Eventually, design protection is more than simply a legal right; it is a means of sustaining communities, promoting growth, and opening up new markets and decent employment. Since many designers lack legal assistance, any time spent registering their designs takes time away from doing work. As simple as feasible should be the design registration procedure.
